It's lime to guard your trees ngaint the deadly
orchard etls that choke their growth and cut your
profits. Head 'his Btory of Avon Spray Lmulxion, the
finer oil opray refined and marketed by Associated
Oil Company as an important part of its huge business.
You'll find Avon Spray Emulsiou a complete clean
up spray. It has the proper viscosity, which means
that it has complete covering qualities, liody enough
to do a thorough job, yet is light enough not to barm
the trees.
It is a smooth, creamy 85 petroleum oil paste
which breaks quickly and mixes readily with water.
And it will not blacken your trees. This finer spray
not only smothers scale, but kills the eggs of Aphis
and Brown Mite.
Avon Spray Emulsion, by removing poets and keep
ing your orchard clean, adds health to your trees. It
is a plant stimulant; you'll find it helps to bring out
a strong, invigorated bloom and spring growth.
These are strong claims, backed by exhaustive tests.

to secure better spread on trees.

Twice now in 30 days production has bad to bi

Every day in more than five thousand Essex sales
rooms motorists are appraising its looks. On the road
they are revealing it in getaway and hill climbing. Its
better than 70 miles an hour is proved over and over
again by thousands of cars. And that such perform- "

These are but a few of the 76 advantages you will find
in Essex the Challenger. Go inspect the others and do
